The 2006 Shiraz is a glass-coating opaque purple colour with an aromatic array of pain grille, pencil lead, smoke, espresso, and blueberry. Layered on the palate, it has outstanding grip, savoury black fruit flavours, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. It will continue to unwind for several years and offer a drinking window extending from 2012-2022.
The 2007 vintage saw some of the smallest yields on record. A warm and dry growing season gave the 2007 Shiraz rich aromas of ripe dark cherries, savoury spice and leather. Extended pre and post ferment maceration has given the wine youthful yet restrained tannin. The 100% French oak adds depth and length of flavour to the structure supporting a palate of blackberries, cedar and nutmeg. Cellar up to 10 years.
This elegant and varietal Cabernet sourced from the “Black Flat” vineyard, is infused with eucalypt from the old gums that grow along the creek bed. Red currant, cedar and subtle tobacco on the nose gives way to a long palate of fine firm tannin, cassis, wood spice and forest floor. This strictly limited release will improve with careful cellaring of up to 15 years.
The Butchers Block is a traditional Barossa blend made with grapes selected from the Turkey Flat vineyards, including some from the original old vine plantings.
